This morning: I'm climbing under a fallen tree on a narrow one-person-width dirt path in the midst of a race. I hadn't had fine motor control for over 2 hours, it's around 40 degrees and shady and incredibly windy. Due to the cold, my hands have started to swell; on *top* of that, a yellow jacket stung my wrist bone around mile 3, so that hand is ( Read more... )

So, I picked up this free CD at the concert last night, which showcased bands that will play/played at the American Music Hall and some other venue ( Read more... )

Therefore I will update this thing, I suppose!  I do have an exam tomorrow evening, but I already studied for it earlier this week, and hopefully will tomorrow, too.

Overall, I think I can pull straight A's for my first semester as a grad student!  The past 4 or 5 assignments in my various classes have been A's, so I'm improving and maintaing the ( Read more... )

Hmmm, normally I'm not a fan of Boiling Points (on MTV), but that was pretty damn funny.

Really looking forward to Trail of Dead concert manana. Currently practicing academic-hibernation as I try to write a couple of papers and prepare a couple presentations for next week.

I have a new music love of my life. They are called The Dresden Dolls. Their sound has been termed "punk caberet". I think I will see them with Michelle and anyone who's interested (Amy!) later this month. They may have pulled me out of my music-writing hibernation, because currently I have Word open with random thoughts for a potential review ( Read more... )

Well, I ran a freaking marathon the other day! On Sunday, in San Francisco, and I'm hopelessly addicted. I've had my fair of the legal and not so legal substances, and I consider a runner's high up there with the rest- it's more subdued, but nevertheless powerful. In fact, I only really started coming down from it last night. So, feeling no ( Read more... )

I forgot to mention my weekend, which was - overall - relaxing and slightly productive. I ended up getting 'Santa Barbara' drunk Sat. night, which in my definition is ( Read more... )

That I miss updating! I understand that I won't always get as many comments as I did in the last entry, but I forgot how it is such an easy way to communicate with several friends all at once, as well as get things off my chest that are bothering me. I know this sounds cheesy, but it's nice hearing back from people, and just knowing other friends ( Read more... )

As I start my second hour at the library, I realize how I have wasted my day. Wasted it! For some reason I feel that if I make a trip to the library I will do things for school. This is clearly not the case, as I have found out. Well, I accidentally forgot my binder in my car, so all the work assignments are back in the parking garage ( Read more... )
